Below is the dilution for both commercial and residential use.
Using commercial spray equipment, fill dilution tank half full with water and start agitation. Add the correct amount of CAL FLO Liquid Limestone and finish filling the mixing tank. Suggested dilution rate for general use is 30 gallons of water to one gallon of CAL FLO Liquid Limestone depending upon the type of equipment being used. CAL FLO Liquid Limestone is well suited for hydro seeders, greenhouse irrigation systems, and boom sprayers.
For home lawn and garden spray equipment, add one cup of CAL FLO Liquid Limestone to 2 gallons of water. Shake mixture in a hand-held tank or backpack tank before spraying.
A general application rate for diluted spray is one gallon to 600 square feet for instant pH adjustment. For prolonged pH maintenance reapply CAL FLO every 8 to 12 weeks.
Please refer to the product label for full application instructions. Please let us know if you need anything else.
Each 2.5 gallon container of CAL FLO Liquid Limestone weighs 37 pounds. The product label states that 2849 pounds of CAL FLO is equivalent to 2000 pounds of dry liming material, or 10.4 dry pounds per gallon. That would make 2.5 gallons equal to 26 pounds of dry liming material.
The CAL FLO Liquid Limestone instructions to apply 2 1/2-5 gallons per acre indicate undiluted product per acre. Water is just the carrier so you will use however many gallons of water it takes to adequately irrigate that area.
You can apply CAL FLO Liquid Limestone using commercial spray equipment, hydro seeders, greenhouse irrigation systems, or boom sprayers. The average dilution rate would be 30 gallons of water to 1 gallon of CAL FLO, per the product label.
CAL FLO Liquid Limestone should be applied after reseeding and prior to applying your fertilizer.
We would not recommend mixing the CAL FLO Liquid Limestone with other fertilizers or herbicides for a couple reasons. First, the CAL FLO by itself is quite thick, so it would be difficult to dilute it evenly with other products. The product label also gives no recommendations for tank mixing. Second, CoRon is liquid fertilizer that is readily available, so you would want the pH of your soil to be adjusted before the CoRon application to get the most out of your fertilizer. We would recommend waiting at least a week after using the CAL FLO for it to absorb before applying CoRon or another highly available fertilizer. You can always test the soil pH before and after application to be sure it is where you want it. Your herbicides should be fine being mixed together, as long as you follow the label directions for the herbicides you are using. Please refer to the "Tank Mixing" section under "Mixing Directions" on page 2 of the product label for Dimension 2EW regarding mixing with liquid fertilizer. Keep in mind that it is always recommended to do a small jar test for compatibility before mixing large amounts of different products together. Timing for your herbicide applications will also determine whether mixing multiple herbicides and/or mixing with fertilizer will be appropriate. Post-emergents like 2,4-D should be applied when the target weeds are young and actively growing. Pre-emergent like Dimension should be applied before target weed seeds germinate. Be careful applying post-emergent herbicides during spring green-up of warm-season turf.
CAL FLO Liquid Limestone can be applied at anytime an application is needed to adjust the PH level of the soil. Per the manufacturer, there are no temperature restrictions, it can even withstand cold temperatures. We would recommend to avoid using it when the ground is frozen and during the heat of the day to avoid any burn as water alone can burn your lawn during that time.
Yes you can apply the Cal Flo anytime an application is needed to adjust the PH level of the soil. You would not need to start over with any plant each time you use it.
Yes, CAL FLO can be used in ponds. Per the product label instructions: “For Fish Ponds, general application rates are 2 1/2 gallons per surface acre of water. If commercial spray equipment is used, add one gallon of CAL FLO to 30 gallons of water and project the dilution on to the water to be treated. If CAL FLO is applied from a boat, slowly pour CAL FLO from a moving boat, letting the motor serve as a mixer. NOTE: For best results, water analysis is recommended to accurately determine application rate.”
CAL FLO Liquid Limestone would be difficult to apply in a hose-end sprayer since the lowest rate would be about 8 oz per gallon of water, plus this is a very thick liquid concentrate. We suggest using a hand pump, backpack, or pull behind sprayer for best results when using CAL FLO.
We suggest using a hand pump, backpack, or pull behind sprayer for best results when using CAL FLO. CAL FLO is a thick liquid and must be diluted with water.
CAL FLO Liquid Limestone will last 8-12 weeks. Reapplication is needed every 8-12 weeks to optimize PH.
You do not need to water your lawn right after applying CAL FLO Liquid Limestone.

According to the product label of CAL FLO Liquid Limestone, For a wide variety of soil treatments, 2 1/2 to 5 gallons per acre has proven to be the accepted 1 application rate. Typically, a soil pH in the low 6 range will use 2 1/2 gallons per acre, while a pH below 6 may require 5 gallons per acre.
CAL FLO Liquid Limestone is mixed at an average dilution rate of 30 gallons of water to 1 gallon of CAL FLO for an acre of coverage, per the product label. So the 2.5-gallon bottle should cover about 2 to 2.5 acres.
Yes, CAL FLO Liquid Limestone can be shipped to New York.
